Child Poverty Bill

Charlotte Pickles: The report is not a report on job creation, if that is what you mean. It is about removing the barriers for people who are not moving into work at the moment. Obviously, we are in a recession and there are limited jobs available, but we will come out of that. The recommendations in “Dynamic Benefits” are focused on us coming out of the recession, and the people who are currently workless will be able to move from that position. Our focus is on getting workless households into paid employment. Our “Breakthrough Britain” report on economic dependency and worklessness made recommendations around welfare to work programmes and how you can additionally provide support and ensure that those people moving into work are sustained in work.
